Did Jim Robinson Really Post This Back In '99?

So, it doesn't matter if he [Bush] snorted coke as a youth? It was a long time ago, a youthful in-discretion? Kinda like people who frequented sneakeasies during prohibition? Kind of a cute story, eh? Well, how about all the people whose lives have been destroyed by being arrested for the felony of drug possession? What about the millions of people who are rotting away in your filthy drug infested prisons at this very moment?

Well, by God, if you people insist on electing another cokehead as President, you damned well better throw open all the prison cell doors and free every man, woman, and child you're holding on drug charges. And if you're gonna elect another drug felon as President, you'd better rescind each and every one of your unconstitutional drug laws now on the books, including all of your unconstitutional search and seizure laws, and your asset forfeiture laws, and your laws that enable your unconstitutional snooping into our bank accounts and cash transactions. Well, I don't know whether to laugh or cry. You people are sick! Conservatives my ass. You people are nothing but a bunch of non-thinking hypocrits! You're a shame and a disgrace to the Republic!

And, I, for one, am tired of taking orders from cokeheads and felons! Elect another one and I'll tell you what. I'll be ready for war! It'll be time to take up arms and run the filthy lying bastards out!

Thanks for helping me out, doggonneit.

That's right. He didn't dignify the question with an answer considering the setting. Still many believed he did. I don't have a problem with someone trying something in their youth, as all human beings are striving to learn, to feel, to experience. The problem is when one becomes addicted to any artificial means of attempting to 'feel different'.

George Bush learned from his mistakes, while on the other hand we have Willy the Snake.

I am very disappointed with Sidious and Mercuria. Chris recruited me for FR, and we'd been friends for a couple of years at that point, since we "met" as a result of both writing for The Grudge Match back during the Grudge Classic era. We are still friends, but I won't talk politics with him because there is too much on the line this time out. Mercuria is at least partly responsble for the weekly Useful Idiot Caption-A-Rama's existence; she gave me a lot of encouragement, a Golden Bwahaha and the idea for a weekly thread after I posted a rework of the pictures of demonstrations and riots at the 2000 Democrat convention.

If people who don't understand asymetric warfare want to complain about how Bush is a bad President (how soon they forget Clinton and Carter), they can join DU or write articles for The Opinion and have fifty abortion-loving socialists leave positive comments on their article page. I don't go to bed at night and lay awake thinking, "But if FR isn't helping John Kerry get to the White House, are we really Free Republic?" Nobody else should be laying awake wondering, either. At worst, this isn't about the lesser of two evils, it's about "not quite Ronald Reagan" vs. evil. I can't imagine having trouble making that choice.
